Chapter 113 There are too many girls looking for Cheng Xuyuan
"Teacher Zou, have you finished reading it?" Zhang Dening's expression was full of surprise.
She read it twice and was very clear about the word count of "Desire".
Even if Zou Yan read books quickly, it would be impossible for her to finish it so quickly.
Facing the surprised Zhang Dening, Zou Yanlai said calmly: "I haven't finished reading it yet."
"But after reading half of it and with your strong recommendation, I think this novel should be no worse than The Pursuit of Happyness."
"Although it doesn't have the optimistic spirit of The Pursuit of Happyness, I think it contains a kind of precious kindness."
“The kindness of ordinary people.”
“It’s a rare fine product.”
Zou Yanlai has always been a peaceful person.
So most of the time, she speaks slowly and calmly.
It is rare to see a situation like the present one, where people are praising and admiring others highly.
Not only had Shen Yumo never seen it before, but even Zhang Dening had never seen it before.
Seeing Teacher Zou's high spirits, she couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Zou, the novel is very good, but now the key issue is how to publish it."
"After all, Xu Lingyun's "Desire" has nearly 200,000 words!"
When Zou Yanlai heard this, his expression returned to calm.
She glanced at Zhang Dening and Shen Yumo and said with a smile, "If such a good work was given to other magazines, I would not be willing to give it up."
"Well, let's go find other teachers."
"Let's discuss a solution."
"I have two ideas. One is to publish a special issue specifically for this novel, Desire."
"Another thing is to divide this film, Desire, into two parts in the middle."
"Half of it is published in one issue."
In Shen Yumo's opinion, all of Zou Yanlai's methods were very good.
Both of these methods can solve the problem.
However, after Zou Yan finished speaking, Zhang Dening became a little anxious: "Teacher Zou, I think we should still publish a special issue. If we publish it in two parts, we will be scolded by readers."
"What's more, if a novel cannot be read in one go, it will greatly drain the reader's enthusiasm."
Zou Yanlai hesitated for a moment and said, "Which method should we use? Let's discuss it together!"
"It's no use for us to decide on our own."
Shen Yumo was busy all day long.
However, even so, the three words she heard the most that day were "Xu Lingyun".
The editors were talking about Xu Lingyun, and people from other units of the Writers Association who were gathered together to work were also talking about Xu Lingyun. Some people even went to the editorial office specifically to discuss Xu Lingyun with the editors.
Shen Yumo had no news on how Xu Lingyun's "Desire" would be released.
It wasn't that she was uninformed, but that several heads of the editorial department did not reach a conclusion through discussion.
So everyone decided to read the novel first before making a decision.
When it came to newcomers like Shen Yumo, this decision meant that if they wanted to watch "Desire", they could only wait.
When he got off work, Shen Yumo instinctively wanted to ride his bike home.
But as soon as she pushed out the bicycle, an idea came into her mind.
She wanted to meet Cheng Xuyuan, she had to talk to him face to face.
It is best for the matter between her and him to be resolved by the two of them.
Rather than involving the whole family.
She didn't want her family to know that Cheng Xuyuan was Xu Lingyun, and she didn't want them to know that Xu Lingyun had been admitted to Yenching University.
It’s not that she felt her self-esteem was hurt, but she didn’t want her beloved family to fall into remorse and regret because of her.
"Yu Mo, why don't you leave?" Zhang Dening asked her loudly while riding his bicycle.
Shen Yumo said: "My mother arranged something for me, but I accidentally forgot about it. Now I want to find a way to make up for it."
Zhang Dening didn't investigate further. At this moment, she could hardly open her eyes.
She waved at Shen Yumo and said, "Okay, I'll go first."
"Go back and have some sleep, or you won't be able to keep your eyes open!"
After Zhang Dening's bicycle disappeared, Shen Yumo turned and rode towards the South City Cultural Center.
Although he was not familiar with the Chengnan Cultural Center, Shen Yumo still arrived at the Chengnan Cultural Center after more than ten minutes.
It was already dark, and a street lamp had been turned on at the entrance of the cultural center.
"Girl, who are you looking for?" Old Li asked with a smile when he saw Shen Yumo.
Shen Yumo stopped his bike and said nervously, "I'm looking for Cheng Xuyuan."
Old Li smiled and said, "Miss, Cheng Xuyuan hasn't been here for the past two days."
"Hey, stop wasting time!"
Waste of time?
Shouldn't you say, please come back tomorrow?
Although she didn't do well in the college entrance examination, Shen Yumo is still a smart girl.
She said to Old Li, "Uncle, I am Cheng Xuyuan's friend. I have something important to discuss with him."
"Are you Cheng Xuyuan's friend?" Old Li laughed and said, "Do you know that I have met several people who claim to be Cheng Xuyuan's friends these days?"
Shen Yumo frowned, but still said seriously: "I am really Cheng Xuyuan's friend, there is nothing worthy of me pretending to be."
Old man Li looked at the anxious Shen Yumo, and became more and more convinced that the beautiful girl in front of him was guilty of something.
He immediately said, "No matter how much you promise me, it's useless. How about this, you claim to be Xiao Cheng's friend, so let me ask you, where is Xiao Cheng's hometown?"
The corner of Shen Yumo's mouth twitched.
If you ask her other questions, she might not be able to answer them.
But, Cheng Xuyuan’s hometown, isn’t this giving me points?
After a moment's hesitation, she said calmly, "Cheng Xuyuan's hometown is Chengjiazhuang Brigade, Liguotun Commune, Changfeng County."
Old man Li stared at Shen Yumo in a daze, thinking to himself, could it be that this pretty girl is really Xiao Cheng's good friend? When did this brat get such a pretty girlfriend?
This girl is delicate and tender, and speaks softly. She is much better than Shi Xuehong.
Just as he was thinking about how to respond to Shen Yumo, he heard someone say, "Uncle Li, have you eaten yet?"
Old Li took a look and found that the person who spoke was Cheng Xuyuan.
"Xiao Cheng, this girl is looking for you and says she is your friend." Old Li said loudly.
Hearing what Old Li said, Shen Yumo's face turned red for no apparent reason.
She felt a little embarrassed to say that she was Cheng Xuyuan's friend.
Cheng Xuyuan also saw Shen Yumo at this time.
He didn't expect that Shen Yumo would come to him on his own initiative.
After being stunned for a moment, he came to Shen Yumo and said, "Uncle Li, this is my friend."
"I didn't know she was coming to see me, so I couldn't tell you in advance."
Old Li chuckled and said, "It's hard to predict what's going on in this world. Who can foresee what's happening?"
"Girl, I just didn't want Xiao Cheng to be disturbed too much, so I didn't let you go over. Don't mind."
Hearing this, Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Master, I came a little abruptly and didn't explain clearly."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Uncle Li, you are busy first, we will leave first."
Old Li looked at Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo who were leaving and shook his head slightly.
This little Shen, the girl who is looking for him, is getting more and more beautiful! Cheng Xuyuan naturally didn't know what Old Li was thinking. He walked side by side with Shen Yumo, but neither of them spoke.
The sky was growing darker and darker. Although the cold wind was not as biting as before the New Year, the chill could still be felt when it penetrated through people's clothes.
"How about we find a restaurant to sit down and have a meal?" Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the sky and suggested to Shen Yumo.
He usually doesn't cook, and the state-owned restaurant has a fixed closing time.
After a certain time, no matter how rich you are, people will not serve you.
Shen Yumo glanced at the restaurants around him and shook his head gently, "Thank you, but no thanks."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't want to accompany Shen Yumo to drink cold air, so he said, "Since you don't want me to treat you, then why don't you treat me."
"We are friends. I came to Yanjing, and you haven't treated me to a meal outside yet. How about today?"
Just now, Cheng Xuyuan suggested having dinner, but Shen Yumo firmly refused.
In her opinion, there was no problem with this.
After all, she was the invited guest, and there was nothing anyone could do if she didn't want to eat.
But now, the host and the guest have switched places! Now Cheng Xuyuan has become the guest instead of the host. Since she is from Yanjing, it seems a bit unreasonable not to treat her.
"Okay, there's a dumpling restaurant up ahead. I'll treat you to dumplings." Shen Yumo said a little helplessly.
Cheng Xuyuan shook his head and said, "No, Zhang Dening treated me to dumplings yesterday. You can't treat me to dumplings this time no matter what you say."
"Let's go eat noodles. I want to eat vegetable and meat noodles."
Shen Yumo said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll treat you to noodles."
While walking towards the hotel, Shen Yumo compared the Cheng Xuyuan in his memory with the Cheng Xuyuan he met now.
Although there is no change in his eyebrows and eyes, Cheng Xuyuan is now much more confident than before.
There is more sunshine too.
When it comes to speaking, he also knows how to be flexible.
Could it be that this is the confidence that a man gets from his career? Looking at Shen Yumo who walked forward a dozen steps, Cheng Xuyuan guessed her purpose in looking for him.
You don't want to be with yourself...
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was making random guesses, he heard Shen Yumo say, "Cheng Xuyuan, I haven't congratulated you on getting admitted to Yanjing University yet!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted.
The fact that I was admitted to university was known to everyone in my hometown. Maybe Shen Yumo found out about it through some channel.
He smiled faintly and said, "I was a little surprised that I was admitted to Yanjing University."
Shen Yumo turned his head and looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "I was also very surprised, but you passed the exam based on your own strength. Congratulations."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Thank you."
"How's work going for you lately?"
"I'm fine too." Shen Yumo responded calmly.
As the two were talking, they arrived at this state-owned hotel which consisted of only three rooms.
There were not many people in the restaurant and everyone was eating everything.
Shen Yumo thought that he was going to treat everyone, so he walked straight to the counter and said, "One bowl of vegetable and meat noodles, and one bowl of plain noodles."
As he spoke, he took out three cents and five taels of food coupons from his bag and handed them over.
Cheng Xuyuan, who was used to being treated to meals, thought he would have to get the food coupons himself, but he didn't expect that Shen Yumo would actually hand them over.
He smiled, then found a secluded place and sat down.
He knew that Shen Yumo came here because he had something to say to him, and this secluded place was more suitable for talking.
